Police have found the owner of a car that was seen parked at Lara Plamann's Greenville home in the week before she was found slain.

Sgt. Chris Hammen spoke with the owner of the vehicle today and ruled out the possibility that the car or the owner were involved in Plamann's case in any way, police said. Police did not name the car's owner.

The Outagamie Sheriff's Department had publicly sought information on the blue or purple late model Volkswagen New Beetle convertible with a black top. It was one of several cars reportedly parked at the home in the week leading up to Plamann's death. Investigators have identified some of the other vehicles and their owners.

Plamann, 30, was found dead in a shed on her property at W7548 Wisconsin Ave. on Oct. 18, the day after she had been reported missing by her self-described domestic partner, 48-year-old Dianna Siveney.

Police said Plamann was killed by a gunshot wound to the head, and they have not identified any suspects in the case.

Outagamie County sheriff's Capt. Mike Jobe said Monday that several people have come forward with information on the case, with some of the information focusing on vehicles that were seen parked at the home, or nearby, before Oct. 18.

Investigators ask anyone with information about Plamann, including anyone who may have seen her in the days leading up to her death, to call sheriff's Lt. Chris Proietti at 920-832-5629.
